Work Activity Augmented by Cognitive Rehabilitation: Continuation and Follow-up
This research investigates the benefits of productive activity and cognitive rehabilitation
for patients with schizophrenia. Key questions are:
1. does cognitive rehabilitation plus work activity produce better outcomes than work
activity alone?
2. Is cognitive rehabilitation more helpful for individuals with moderate or greater
cognitive impairment than for individuals without such impairment?
3. Does cognitive rehabilitation reduce the dropout rate and increase participation in
work activity for cognitively impaired subjects?
4. What features of cognitive rehabilitation are most important for clinical and
rehabilitation outcomes?
